[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a single post supporting him here, and yet he leads nationwide polling for the nomination.  Just name recognition or is this forum missing something?[/quote]

It's a very thin level of support. And it will disappear once attention moves to the next shiny object. Ever since Obama, the Democratic Party has been a top heavy party. Hilary Clinton and Joe Biden were the anointed leaders by donors and the party establishment. And zero attention was paid to younger generations for nearly twenty years now. Democrats are basically starting from zero. I expect potential nominees will pop and recede for some time. It wasn't that long ago everyone was talking about Gretchen Whitmer. [/quote]

If nominations were entirely left up to the people, there is a fear of an anti-capitalist type such as 2020's Sanders or Warren becoming the nominee. This type of nominee would, for obvious reasons, be a deterrent to the mega-donors counted on to write big checks. Quality of candidate is less important than fundraising capability in modern day American politics.

Candidates with established, long-standing relationships with the dependable mega-donating entities will have the odds stacked in their favor until something is done to reduce the influence of money in politics.[/quote]
